Chapter 222 Cause
But the imperial doctors checked the herbs one by one and found that they were indeed common medicines. The prince had occasionally caught a cold in the past and had taken this kind of medicine, so there was nothing unexpected.
There was no choice but to start with the little prince's diet.
Everything I had eaten recently was checked one by one.
Rice soup, fruit puree, vegetable puree, minced meat, minced vegetables, porridge, steamed egg custard, fish puree, tofu, and a small amount of fruit.
I checked them one by one, but made sure that nothing had been added to the food.
Those foods are normal foods that are suitable for little princes of this age to eat.
In the past, the princes and princesses all ate like this and there was no problem with it.
The situation fell into a stalemate again.
Seeing that the little prince's condition was getting worse, the imperial doctors couldn't just let him wait like that.
Fortunately, based on experience, we could tell that the brother was suffering from an allergy, so we immediately prescribed a prescription for clearing heat and detoxifying.
Tangerine peel, pinellia tuber, poria cocos, amomum villosum, patchouli, chicken gizzard lining…
These are all medicinal herbs for treating food-related problems. After the little prince drank them, his breathing became more stable after a while.
However, the food that caused the allergy could not be determined, after all, Hongfang had never experienced such symptoms before.
Concubine Jin felt very sad when she saw Hongfang lying there alone.
Since this happened, Hongfang hasn't eaten for most of the day.
Because of his son, the emperor also stayed in Yonghe Palace for half a day.
While the emperor was around, Concubine Jin suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to hold Hongfang in her arms and coax him.
"Good boy, you must be hungry. I will feed you later."
Concubine Jin gently coaxed Hong Fang and told her personal maid, "Go prepare some food for the little prince."
Concubine Jin thought for a moment and asked the imperial physician, "How about the egg custard?"
"I heard that this egg custard is mostly used by children. The Tenth Prince especially loved it when he was young, so it should be okay."
The imperial physician was a little hesitant, after all, the little prince's allergies had not yet been determined.
"Why not feed Brother some milk first."
But when Concubine Jin looked at the imperial physician, her eyes changed while the emperor was talking to Concubine Zhang, and the imperial physician changed his tone.
"Little brother is hungry too, so a little egg custard will do."
Only after hearing the satisfactory answer did Concubine Jin nod.
To feed the little prince, he had to be taken away by the wet nurse, but to feed him, Concubine Jin could also do it.
Doing it personally can better demonstrate the deep love between herself and the little prince. The emperor is still here. Seeing that I care about the little prince, he will be willing to hand him over to me.
Didn’t you see that noble lady Zhang is still standing there?
The emperor asked her many questions about Hongfang, and it seemed that he still felt that Concubine Zhang, as the biological mother, cared about the child.
Why are you crying? Crying in front of the emperor?
Concubine Jin sneered in her heart, what a ridiculous thing.
Do you want the emperor to think that you and Hongfang are related by blood?
Concubine Jin took the bowl from the palace maid and fed Hongfang spoonful by spoonful with a gentle and loving expression.
Her eyes were full of worry and love for Hongfang.
Concubine Jin did not interrupt the conversation between the emperor and Concubine Zhang, but just quietly fed the child.
She also spoke softly to Hongfang, coaxing him to eat.
"Good Hongfang, if you are sick, you can get better faster if you eat."
The emperor chatted with Concubine Zhang for a few words, and then his attention was attracted by Concubine Jin.
Looking at Concubine Jin who was feeding Hongfang gently and patiently, the emperor felt satisfied and a smile appeared on his face.
"Does Concubine Jin often feed Hongfang?"
Only then did Concubine Jin put down the spoon and smiled slightly.
"As a mother, it is a pleasure for me to feed this child. Besides, Hongfang is still young. If I do it myself, I can get closer to the child."
"Children always stay close to those who are kind to them."
Concubine Jin lowered her head and smiled, and at that moment Hongfang stretched out his little hand to grab Concubine Jin's sleeve.
The emperor looked at this scene and nodded silently.
It seems that Concubine Jin really put a lot of effort into Hongfang.
After all, compared to Concubine Zhang, Hongfang is indeed closer to Concubine Jin.
The emperor was very satisfied and praised:
"Thank you for your hard work. You are really a good mother."
Concubine Jin hugged Hongfang tightly and said, "Taking care of Hongfang is hard work for me as your mother."
The emperor was even more satisfied with this answer.
But Concubine Zhang looked at the Emperor and Concubine Jin awkwardly, as well as Hongfang in Concubine Jin's arms.
I felt more and more desolate.
After staying in Yonghe Palace for most of the day, the emperor also stayed overnight in Yonghe Palace.
But at night, no one expected that Hongfang's condition suddenly became serious.
My throat, which had been feeling slightly better, became red and swollen again.
Concubine Jin and the Emperor were originally planning to rest, but something like this happened suddenly and no one knew what to do, so they could only ask Concubine Jin for instructions.
But since she had finally gotten the chance to sleep with the emperor, how could Jinpin be willing to be disturbed? She was hesitant.
He ordered Concubine Zhang to look after the little prince first, and if the situation became more serious, he would report to the main hall.
At the same time, no one is allowed to disturb her without Jinpin's order.
That night, Concubine Zhang was very anxious and did not sleep all night, but fortunately the little prince survived the next day.
At night, Concubine Zhang no longer dared to give the little prince anything to eat, for fear that the food would harm Hongfang.
Concubine Zhang rarely had the chance to hold Hongfang in her arms and take care of him, but no matter how much she missed her son, she didn't want to hold the little prince in her arms only because he was sick.
Thinking of Concubine Jin who was serving in the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Zhang felt secretly resentful.
When nothing happens, the mother is kind and the son is filial; when something happens, they try to avoid it as much as possible.
Concubine Jin did not conceal her true colors at all.
Today she even used the young prince to win favor. The more Concubine Zhang thought about it, the more she hated him.
Looking at his weak son in his arms, he became even angrier.
Concubine Zhang thought about what the little prince might have come into contact with and carefully recalled every detail.
The little prince was getting better, why?
What did you eat?
Egg custard!
Correct!
Egg custard!
Concubine Zhang was suddenly shocked.
In order to show off in front of the emperor, Concubine Jin fed the emperor the egg custard with her own hands.
Hongfang only ate this.
But egg custard has always been eaten by children. Hongfang had eaten it before, but he didn’t have these symptoms?
However, Concubine Zhang thought of what she had recently heard about Concubine Jin preparing a lot of food for Hongfang.
Before, Concubine Jin wanted Hongfang to be healthier, but she asked a lot of questions about how the healthy princes in the palace were maintained.
Especially the two princes Hongxi and Honghan, they are as strong as calves. If they are taken care of, they will definitely be in good health.
Only when the child is in good health can he stand.
Concubine Zhang also knew that Concubine Jin wanted Hongfang to be healthy so that she could better compete for that position, but she had this intention, and Concubine Zhang was very grateful.
Prince Hongxi was able to eat it when he was a child and he loved egg custard.
Prince Honghan was no less miserable, eating pureed meat every day.
These two things are what Concubine Jin has given Hongfang the most recently.
Children have difficulty digesting meat if they eat too much, so Concubine Jin gave Hongfang a lot of egg custard.
I use it every day these days.
When Concubine Zhang thought about it, her face darkened.
Concubine Jin still doesn’t care about Hongfang, otherwise how could she not notice that the child is allergic to eggs?
Or maybe it’s because she is not Hongfang’s biological mother, and it’s not her own flesh and blood, so she doesn’t feel sorry for it.
Concubine Zhang's heart seemed to be bleeding.
